Rafi's BayRun with Discovery Vitality

Discovery Vitality is excited to announce that its popular Vitality Run Series is extending to Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape. Discovery Vitality has partnered with Rafi’s Appliances and Mattresses to bring the National Vitality Series to our region in October.

The Rafi’s BayRun will be hosted by 32Gi and Achilles Athletics clubs on Saturday, 21 October, and will start and finish at Cape Recife High School.

The Vitality Run Series was introduced in 2017, with the aim to help people improve their fitness through physical activity. The Series has over the years offered iconic events in the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal and recently launched the George Series and the upcoming Gqeberha Series. The series is open to anyone, and Vitality members earn Vitality points for participating in races.

The Rafi’s BayRun will offer three flat and scenic distances, 21km, 10km and a fun 5km. All three distances will be timed, and all finishers will receive a Rafi’s BayRun with Discovery Vitality Series medal.
